One of the secrets to the Taskmaster's successful reign of tyranny is that he's ruthlessly unpredictable which means things can change very, very quickly in this game. Alex Horne takes scrupulous notes as Paul Sinha squats in a telephone box and Iain Stirling stakes his claim for the Scottish national football team.

The competitive nature of Taskmaster bubbles alarmingly to the surface as a simple team task involving a hammock exposes tensions between two of the five comics vying to win Greg Davies's monumental golden head. Further controversy arises with Iain Stirling's definition of a loo roll, while Paul Sinha attempts to engage a toddler with a thresher shark.

It's Lou Sanders who leads the pack at this early stage of Series 8, but there's a long journey ahead for the five comics hoping to claim Greg Davies's gilded head. With the Taskmaster's keen admin enthusiast, Alex Horne, recording events, Joe Thomas struggles with the definition of a mammal, Iain Stirling devises an explosive chemistry experiment and Sian Gibson sends a NSFW text to Greg.

The race continues for Taskmaster Greg Davies's alluring golden head trophy. In this episode, Lou Sanders displays some unusual facial hair, Iain Stirling's beatboxing causes him some problems and Paul Sinha shows off his full acting range. As usual, Alex Horne provides data analysis in his role as the Taskmaster's private secretary and live-in companion.

Taskmaster Greg Davies returns with miniature sidekick Alex Horne in tow, as five new contestants are ordered to attempt tasks that may result in comprehensive humiliation. Starting with: baby monitors, powerful smells and seductive dummies.

Phil Wang makes sure his outstanding outfit leaves even less to the imagination that it did before, Jessica Knappett demonstrates her mastery of a child's percussion instrument and James Acaster's dream comes true.

Why does Jessica Knappett pile shoes on some butcher's scales? What happens when James Acaster tries the emergency alarm on a lift? And will Rhod Gilbert regret smearing mustard in his eyes? All these questions will be answered - and more besides.

It's the final episode of the series and all five contestants not called Alice Levine or Asim Chaudhry still have genuine hopes of winning the greatest prize on earth: the shiny golden bonce of Taskmaster Greg Davies.

It's the penultimate episode of the series and Liza Tarbuck still leads the pack of five comics all vying to win Taskmaster Greg Davies's delectable golden head trophy. Alex Horne provides the crucial stats as Alice Levine gaffers nails to her nose, Russell Howard wraps a tie round his head and Tim Vine is left bereft by a small piece of bent metal.

Alex Horne, subservient servant to glorious Taskmaster, Greg Davies, gets a treat as he's allowed to crack open five unusual chocolate eggs. Meanwhile, Russell Howard uses ear wax to charm a nice lady called Carol, Asim Chaudhry goes digging for invertebrates and Liza Tarbuck makes a puzzle for children... that should not be seen by children.

Greg Davies is the Taskmaster, Alex Horne is his private secretary and together they enjoy putting five comics through a series of rigorous tests and pointless challenges. In this episode, Tim Vine encounters a wet bra, Alice Levine barely attempts cricket and Russell Howard makes a convincing liger.

As the series nears the halfway point, the five comic contestants grow ever more eager to lay their hands on the coveted Taskmaster trophy. Asim Chaudhry has fun with drain pipes, Tim Vine gets stuck in a tunnel and, dissatisfied with his charge's performance, Greg Davies gives Alex Horne a sharp telling off in front of everyone.

More rough justice is meted out by Taskmaster Greg Davies, as five comics fight for his love by trying to complete assorted tricky tasks.

Under the watchful eye of Greg's loyal lapdog Alex Horne, Liza Tarbuck demonstrates her hatred of small toy men, Asim Chaudhry invents a new kind of rain hat and Alice Levine tries to work out the rules of darts.

The series reaches its dramatic climax. Four comics are locked in a thrilling battle to win the coveted Taskmaster trophy, while Nish Kumar is at least enjoying the ride.

Greg Davies, ably supported by Alex Horne, holds their fate in his powerful hands as he weighs up Aisling Bea's cushion-leaping, two songs about a woman named Rosalind and Bob Mortimer's intimate knowledge of Dumfries and Galloway. Who will win?

It's the semi-final and time is running out to claim the points needed to become the Taskmaster Series Champion. In this episode, Greg Davies and Alex Horne set the contestants a series of cruel conundrums: should Nish Kumar use the coconut harness? What should Sally Phillips do with a slice of bread when blindfolded? And who should they vote for in yet another referendum?

Taskmaster Greg Davies's little assistant Alex Horne decides it's time for a style makeover, but will it meet with his boss's approval? Meanwhile, with just three shows left, the five comics continue their quest to win a golden likeness of Greg's imperial skull. Bob Mortimer champions sausage meat, Sally Phillips returns to the womb and Greg has a heart to heart with Nish Kumar.

The series passes the halfway stage and the tantalising prospect of owning the Taskmaster trophy is getting closer for all five comic competitors who are not named Nish Kumar. Alex Horne risks the wrath of his fierce employer Greg Davies with an unsanctioned task, Sally Phillips locks herself in the caravan with an amorous watercooler and Aisling Bea crams an Italian entrée dish into a balloon.

The halfway point of the series approaches and the five task-hungry comics are being driven to ever more absurd lengths as they battle to lay their sticky fingers on Taskmaster Greg Davies's golden head.Mark Watson and Nish Kumar pop toast together and Sally Phillips spreads absinthe on it. And can anyone recognise Greg's loyal underling Alex Horneif he's wearing a hat?

Sometimes with humour, more often with viciousness, Taskmaster Greg Davies continues to rank five comics in order of competency as they attempt complex assignments such as jelly-balancing and coconut costumery. Alex Horne, Greg's obedient private secretary in charge of data, is on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly. Also, Mark Watson tries to open an unlocked briefcase.

It's finally time for Greg Davies to present his trophy to the overall champion. But before that, there's still time for more ridiculous task attempts, including Richard Osman doing something appalling with a shopping trolley.
